So! Okay, then I leave! She said.
No!
What No I have to go! She says.
He said looking at her messed up hair, sweating temples, and muddy shoes, of hers " you still same Mini" I didn't see a small change in you, the same attitude, I like you very much that you never tried to impress anybody, you always keep to impress yourself, that I like most in you, that impresses me so much"
She smiles and says " you are talking too much".
He chuckled,
She asked, " Can I ask you one question".
Yaa of course.
She asked " what kind of this girl should do to keep a man"
He says " even I don't know this, once I asked a question to my mom, she says " here the truth is, being pretty doesn't keep a man being honest doesn't keep a man, being loyal doesn't keep a man, Treating a man good doesn't keep a man. Being there for a man doesn't a man. Caring about a man doesn't keep a man. Making an effort doesn't keep a man. Paying attention to a man doesn't keep a man, spending time with a man doesn't keep a man. You could have the best intentions, you could have the most intentions, you could have the most sincere feelings and you could be a good woman and you still would! 't be able to keep a man because the only way to keep a man is if that man wants to be kept by you. you can't force a man to be worth you. You can't beg a man to stay with you. you can't love a man into loving you. With a man, you could tell he wants to be kept when the relationship gets hard and he does everything to fight for you because a man only fights for a girl he wants to belong to so if he isn't fighting for you
When things get hard, then that means he doesn't want to be kept by you anymore. Then that means he doesn't want to be kept by you anymore. the moral of this? Don't hold on to a man who shouldn't waste any more of your time than you already have. Know then its time to let go, know when its time to walk away and know when its time for him to be kept." It applied not the only man, even it's for girls, women too. Feelings are feelings irrespective of gender and age.
She smiles and says " bye"
He said " Bye"

College;-
*******
Mini is readying the notification which pinned to the notice board. The between seniors and juniors, paintings, dancing, boxing competition is so excited as she loves to do paintings. At the same time, she got the notification in-class group that the first hour is a free hour.
She is standing at the class entrance and shocked to see the seniors behaviour, they ragging few boys and girl, asking them to dance, and shouting, few boys half-naked doing sit-ups and crying. Few are threatening them that " they won't allow them to lead a peaceful life in a hostel
Oye heroine! Come here, one of the boys said he said studying her on her.
She went to them, she sacred little by seeing thereby worrying behaviour.
The nice bag, even you too he said and about to take her bag.
Manu comes there pulled her back, by pulling her bag, she surprised to see him,
Manu asked " why are you, porter, if you tell me the cost I will pay you how much you charge to carry her bag from college to hostel and hostel to college.
How dare you?
Thats what I am asking how dare you to behave like this, you gave the right.
He looked at everybody and said " what's wrong with you guys, you are not here do take order from them, you are paid to study not to become somebody slaves.
All seniors gang came towards Manu, " don't forget that we are your seniors"
Whatever this attitude and this craziness na, show in the competition and try to win at least three, and show me your seniority. I am challenging you at least three, three that is too much, try at least is, even if you win one I am challenging you this who is standing here, I will do whatever you do. Manu challenged them.
Don't you think, this is overconfidence" one of the senior says.
Try me! Manu says.
Get ready to lose, they challenged.
Be prepared, well I need little standard you have only 10 days.
They left the classroom.
Manu looked at everybody they are dress up and few are relaxed.
One of the boys says " How could you say that it's impossible to win in all?
Manu walks to him, and says " it is not hard then dying am I right, he said.
The morning when I am doing jogging, I heard you crying and going to one shop to another shop to get sleeping pills, they did not give to you as you don't have a prescription.
He hangs down his head!
See look at me sham, you have to face reality and fight them back, we all are far away from our families staying here it's like mini family till we back to our homes, we have stood for each other if any outside comes to us, even though we have much difference, we can't survive with all the fears. We are not less than any of them, we have to prove ourselves as best.
Their class strength is 32, everybody is agreed.
Manu says " then fill the forms, who are best in what's we all discuss about it, and practice everything, if anybody finds drawback, we will correct ourself.
Sham asked " but we won't have enough time we have hardly 20 days, it impossible to practice all together
Mini says " why don't we take permission to say here for extra hours from principle, if you all agree I will ask him"
Everybody agrees.
Manu says " write on paper to do what you have an interest, the evening we will filter it and divide ourselves as a team.
At the same time lecture came and everybody settled in their places

She smiles and said " Friend always should be like you, you are not only someone who save me, you are one who stand by my side to save myself, to design the things how it should be, to show how to go in the right path. You are perfect in every aspect Manu.
At the same time, sohana comes there, Mini come fast, even sohana is also their team
